My Krispy Kreme Experience!

Dear Diary,
On 30th of June 2006, I had my first Krispy Kreme. :p

Boy, was it good.

I'd never seen a line that long for donuts before.

But backtracking, the delectable delicious yummy evasive Krispy Kremes could only be found in Fountaingate..which is fricken..not even in melbourne.

A minor thing that scared me : A sign to Phillip Island on the freeway.

A major thing that REALLY scared me : Looking out the window and seeing mountains in the distance.

like.. OMG are we still in melbourne :p

lol.. turns out we weren't at ALL... bloody.. fountaingate.. is out of melbourne. yesss, that's how sad and crazy the donut expeditioners were.

okay.. well we got there.. and queued for 45 mins looking through the line that snaked many many rounds outside the shop, wondering why on earth was krispy kreme so darned famous. smug lil gloating kids ahead of us in the line were smirking at us in much glee. it was agonising i tell you.

as soon as we got inside the shop (which was about 25 mins into the 45 min wait,) the smell hit us. ohhh the smell ._. there's no way i can describe it. but nowhere near as good as the actual taste of the donut itself.

finally we got near the windows. they were churning out donuts like it's armageddon tomorrow. it reminded me of charlie and the chocolate factory, only this was like donut factory. cool! :D so exciting i tell you. the prospect of those donuts swimming in my digestive juices soon :D hehehehe.

what busy little workers they are, scurrying round in their krispy kreme hats.

oooh i can just feel them in my tummy.

FINALLY.. the box of donuts after.. how long? i clutched them to me possessively. and grinned smugly at the line of wistful queuers. :D i almost waved them at them and shouted 'HA!'

Donuts of assorted varieties. I felt like a rich kid at christmas when he opens his presents.

The original glazed - the one that started it all.

What was left after for me to bring home

end of.. krispy kreme expedition :)).. or..gas..mic :P

thoughts at the moment:

the toiletbowls here are made for extra tall people.. hence when i sit, my feet dangle. it's a strange sensation i haven't had since i was a kid. =/

im going to miss aus vs brazil, even though we're gonna get our arse whupped so bad.. but i'm still freaking desperate to watch it..*sobs* will someone PLEASE tape it for me or something.. GO AUSTRALIAAAA *waves australian flag*

it's my last few hours in sweden. i've taken around 700 photos. and if i see fish another time, especially salmon, i will hurl. no joke. i've had about had it up to THERE with fish.

i hear aus is freezing now. xD hah. and hah again, because i'm baking to a nice slow golden tan. (i wish) but still, weather is perfect here. couldn't ask for more.

time flies - caught up with family friends yesterday, darling girls (7 and 9) are my height now. last i saw them in 2001, the younger one was still sucking her thumb. braided their hair (BEEPING LONG HAIR) down to their knees.. and had alot of trouble. i swear if there was some kind of law for child abuse concerning pulling hair, i'd probably go to jail. but they insisted with their big blue eyes that they wanted french braids.

ahh the babies here.. big blue limpid eyes.. i wanna just abduct them to australia.. and clone them on a breeding farm :D

ok.. thats the end of my ramblings. lol. i think most of you are scared.

i miss australia.

how ironic.

reading xiaxue's disneyland post, i can't help but feel woeful that my destination in 24 hours is neither disneyland nor queensland.

i wouldn't mind trading at the moment, honestly.

the nordic lands aka sweden -.- seems to be much drearier.. compared to the fantastic high theme parks give you. honestly, i know i've been whining about this for ever, but i do want to go before i get too old to enjoy it. (this is an inherent fear because i find the older i get, the more serious and hence the more boring) *gasps* i don't want to become a grandma on the porch with 73 cats that will eat my eyeballs out when i die in the apartment alone, only to be discovered 90 days later from the foul smell emanating from my sad government apartment, without my eyeballs.

wouldn't mind the cats though. just one that wouldn't think of eating my eyes.

queensland or disneyland =(

i'm not in the least bit excited for some reason. psych is over, i'm free, technically, and i'm on a holiday in 24 hours. why do i not feel any tingle of excitement at all?

anyway, watching prison break just now (i love prison break! that guy just grows on you. he is so. so. SO. good looking :D in a smart way, even though he doesnt have hot hair.) - digressing here; but what i was going to say was that, the sound of a gunshot echoing in the silence is the saddest most final sound in the world.. a life gone in a flash of gunfire and the booming shot leaving scattered cartilage behind..tearing through flesh and blood, taking away the soul..

*shudder*

humans are a little too smart for their own good sometimes.

grrr... *shakes fist in much frustration*

you know the feeling of, you know it but you don't know it at the same time? thats like me and psychology. coz i'm pretty darn sure i know it, it's just a matter of applying that endless craploads' worth of knowledge about the brain, visual perception, and states of consciousness to ever-sneaky dodgy questions.

well it just seems like i don't really want to study anymore :D so i shall update for a bit, before deciding what to do.

yesterday, we had church.. and the sermon was about personal integrity in the face of temptation. we had a rather enthusiastic speaker singaporean speaker even though our pastors are back, but lol.. he's the sort that waves his arms alot and sort of jerks back and forth like a jack-in-the-box and just really.. jumps around alot. *yawn* makes me tired thinking about all that energy. like the energizer bunny commericals :D

anyways.. lunch after at glenferrie. i wanted ice cream and so i dragged pris to the ice cream shop with me :D and she was full on trying to pick up the ice cream guy. (joke) but anyways it was funny -

pris : so is that like, ice cream or gelato?
ice cream guy (ICG) : it's technically all gelato, but these *waves arms to a side of ice creams* are the reaaal gelatos.
pris : oh i seee.. so do you like, make it all yourself??
ICG : yeah! you should try all the flavours before you commit!
pris : oh it's okay, i'm not really hungry :D
ICG : TRY SOME! *shoves 2 spoons in priscillas face*
me : (there i am, thinking that if she keeps it up for a bit more, i'll maybe get to try all the flavours) :p

heehee.. anyways, watched sleepers yesterday. pretty damn good movie. not my usual type of movie, but nevertheless, i enjoyed it thoroughly. :D i suggest you guys go watch it. it was powerful, and i'm not saying anymore.

so i entertained thoughts of wagging school today, but when i trudged to my planner and flipped it open, i saw psych period 6.. and i thought, oh what the heck - just go anyway. then i go to school and discover that there are NO 3/4 CLASSES. i'm like .. GRRR

xD but clifford gave me prison break. hehehehe.

and during english sarah just kept on talking about how good prison break was. and during chinese i sat next to clifford and drew turtles in his planner :D

and then i pretended to be sick. -.-

gloria : shouldnt have come.. i wanna go home.
me : me too.
*silence*
me : lets go home

...therefore we went to the sick bay and i staggered in gripping my stomach tightly with a look of pained constipation :D two seconds later gloria came staggering in tragically sniffing like someone died and holding one of those crumpled used tissues that looked gross enough to have been used.

we sat 2 seats away from each other and tried not to look at each other. the nurse (mary gibbons) i love her name! mary gibbons, gibbons mary. dum dum dee. :D anyways, let's call her MG instead of the nurse coz that sounds ever so much cooler.

MG : now dear what's wrong with you?
me (in my faintest voice) - i couldn't decide which sounded more severe, so i said : sore throat, headache, and stomachache.. and i proceeded to grip my stomach even more tightly and huddled in a forlorn somewhat foetal position. *how GOOD am i!*
MG (to Gloria) : now, what's wrong with you?
Gloria : *pulling on a tissue and coughing violently into it* ..

._. i burst out laughing. LOL. and gloria and i just cracked up..and coz we were trying to cover up our laughs, we both had tissues stuffed in our face and we tried to make everything a violent hacking cough or sneeze -.-

then this guy came in.
MG : what's wrong with you dear?
guy : sore throat, stomachache and headache.

me: -.- *geez.. can't someone make up something a lil different now and then.*

MG : hrrrrrrrm. it seems to be going around

and we all just set off on another laughing fit -.-

anyways my mum came and saw gloria and got a fright. -.-

mum: what are YOU doing here?!
gloria : i'm *SNIFF* sick.

-.- so now i'm at home, toasty, warm and wrapped in my daggiest clothes :D but i'm comfy. and prison break is sitting there innocently calling out to me :p
and there is my thick folder of psychology beckoning too.

ahhh, the choices to be made in life.

*side note, i hear laura's party got reaaally rowdy. apparently the police came or some crap. o_O weeeeell. :p i spose its lucky i decided to bookworm and stay at home.
